You're just missing the codec required to display the video. Download andinstall the ffdshow codec from here:http://sourceforge.net/projects/ffdshow/ Which ever media player youdecide to use will automatically locate and use this codec the next timeyou try to play that video file.

There are many codecs out there that may have been used, u will just have tofind the right one. If divxplayer does not work then try DVDX, search for iton the net

Google for a free utility called Gspot (no, I am not making that up!). It queries the video file and tells you what codec it uses.
